Nomadic Diaries: Mastering Global Transitions
Why Belonging
In the inaugural episode of Nomadic Diaries, hosts Doreen Cumberford and Megan Norton-Newbanks dive deep into the concept of “belonging” within the context of global mobility, international relocations, and the personal effects of constantly moving across borders.
They explore:
- The connection between cycles of relocation, relational loss, and a sense of belonging.
- The ways globally mobile people, such as Third Culture Kids (TCKs) and expats, interpret, navigate, and sometimes “gatekeep” their own feelings of home and connection.
- The importance of self-awareness, self-care, and self-agency in cultivating belonging wherever life takes you.
- Plans for upcoming episodes, including a broad spectrum of guests - from those who grew up around the globe, to experts and thought leaders in cross-cultural studies and belonging.
- The power of storytelling and dialogue as tools for healing, fostering connection, and building community in an increasingly divided world.
Key Takeaways
- Belonging is Human: At its core, belonging is about being willing to be human with each other, to share stories, and create connection.
- Variety of Perspectives: Future guests will offer diverse voices and experiences, encouraging a multifaceted understanding of what it means to belong.
- Audience Goals: The hosts hope listeners will reflect on their own experiences, feel inspired toward self and collective understanding, and recognize that no one is truly alone.
- Bridging Divides: In a world marked by polarization and loneliness, this series seeks to empower, heal, and bring listeners together through authentic dialogue and shared journeys.
